A False Dfctum.
Chicago Herald.


Henry George told the scholars of a
New York business college that land is
the only thing that grows in value on &C.
count of the growth of the community.
To this New York newspaper rejoined
that daily newspaper might also grow
in value as property on account of an
increase of population. Such, in fact,
has been the history of many western
daily papers. In attempting to deal WITH
this problem Mr.. George begs the qaeS-
ton, and would seem to be unable 20
meet it squarely. As answer he Instances
the growth of the New York World itself,
alleging that the circulation of that paper
has increased solely because of its man.
agement.
1t is evident that Mr.. George is unwiu-
ing to look the facts in the face. If New
York were not a populous center the
Worlds circulation would not he possi-
bic, and the fact that the circulation has
grown marvelously is due largely to loss
of circulation by other papers. Certain
great metropolitan dsilies lost the benefit
of population just as certain lots in Chi
csgo lost value when the business center
of the city shifted, and other lots gained
the benefit. A town on the Missouri
river leaps from 10000 to $4,000 in popu-
lation. Its daily paper printed 500 CO.
pies; now it prints Is, GOO. A large cir
culation and great profits have come.to

THE ROTTEN EGG ARGUMENT.

The Fort Worth GAZETTE states q ponderoue
truth when 1t says: 1.-THE more eggs thrown,
the more empty whisky bottles thrown, the
more votes made for the other side. some
people do not seem to have sense enough to
understand this" There are, It is to be regret
ted, sprinkling of half drunken or whole
drunken loafers In the anti ranks whose idea
of argument is hurting offensive missiles and
whose love of principle is fostered by love OF
wobblehoof. They are few, but In proportion
to their number have done good cause more
harm and bad cause more good than was
within the ability of 100000 men. The Express
is law and order paper, and as such, sincerely
trusts that the next hoodlum who robs hens
nest in preparation of attendance upon pro-
hibtion meeting Will be hit under the ear by
six shooter in the hands of a muscular anti,
who believes that the club checketh toughness
even as the soft answer turneth away wrath
[San Antonio Express.
The Express, as an AUTHORIZATIONS
advocate, does itself credit in denounc
ing spirit of intolerance among its own
household, and the ants will do we'll to
heed the advice given them by the Ex-
press. There are great many people in
Texas who are "on the fence" in this con-
test, and their votes can be decided
and decisive and will be against
either party to the struggle that assumes
to assail free speech by breaking up law
full assemblages of the people. If anti
prohibition, through rotten eggs and
empty whisky TASKS, is made to signify
that no man may speak in Texas in oppo-
sition to the liquor traffic then the people
of Texas will abolish the traffic that sets
itself up higher than constitutional guaran
tees. The Express, much to its own
credit and to the strengthening of its
cause, speaks the word of condemnation
IN season. THE GAZETTE also notes with
pleasure that, despite the lawless element
ct San Antonio, there are enough good
people in that city to enforce the law and
protect the citizen. Our San Antonio
special of yesterday says:
The acts of the hoodlums here last night IN
breaking up the public prohibition meeting Is
roGndly condemned bv everybody, and by
none more so than by the leaders of the antis,
Two of those engaged In the rotton egging
were arrested and fined $50 each by the Re
corder. one OF them was an employe or Jhe
Lone Star Brewing Company, who has been
discharged, and the other was negro barber
San Antonio wipes out the disgrace
put upon it, and brewery employees and
negro BARRIERS in Texas have been taught
that free speech will be maintained in
Texas. The outrage at San Antonio was
8 shameful one, but right promptly and
nobly has it been atoned.

Suit Won by the Texas and Pacific.

Special to the Gazette.
JEFFERSON, Tex, June 9.-The trial
of the case of the Texas and Pacific Rail
way Company vs.. B. 81. Epperson here,
which involved large amount, was con-
cluded in the District court here to-day.
Msny years ago when the old memphis,
FL Psso and Pacific Railway Company
was in the hands of receivers, Epperson
had control of a judgment against il
for about $4,000, and under it
had seventy-1ve sections of land situated
in Wilbarger and Clay counties sold by
the sheriff. Epperson become the pur-
chaser of all the lands at the sale and
they are noW said to be very valuable.
These lands with other effects were af-
forwards transferred by the Memphis,
Ell Paso and Pacific Railway Company to
the Texas aud Pacific. The suit just de-
cided was brought by the Texas and Pa
citlc Railway Company to set aside the
sheriff's sale. After q short dellberation
by the jury, verdict was returned for
the plaintiffs, setting aside the sale and
again vesting the right of the lands in
the Texas and Pacific Railway Company.

THE BLOODY SHIFT.


Northern hate towards the south is not
dying out as rapidly as most people think.
Business interests and commingling of
the people of both sections have done
much to cool the passions and remove
the prejudices which existed after the
war, but no one need fatter himself with
the idea that perfect harmony and good
feeling has been restored. When our
northern fellow citizens desire to sell US
their goods, there is no end to love feasts,
hand shakings and fine speeches; when
dollars and cents are allowed to speak,
we are one grand people, Gndi-
vided, neighborly and loving, but
when these considerations are removed
and when the true sentiments of the
northerner finds free expression, the old
feeling OF hate, undying, uncompromis-
ing hate again appears in ell its hideous
virulence and venom. John Shcrman's
Springfield speech is applsuded IS much
to-day as it would have been in 1867. He
did not as many suppose give vent to his
own individual feelings. He has sounded
public sentiment and explored public
feeling end reflected only the sentiments
entertained and religiously cherished by
northern Republicans. The eXtravs-
CANT utterances of Rev. DR.. Thompson,
the orator of the day, at Grants tomb,
have been taken up and spplauded by the
truly loyal press. The reverend gentleman
whose mission here below is to preach the
good will and the rest of the bible, said:
owe hear strange sounds in these piping
times Of peace. Tread last week in New
York newspaper, speaking OF the Confed-
crates, that they were as sincere as we and
as patriotic. Why, when l was younger,
and they met in the groves near my ma
tive town in Ohio, they were called trait
ors. And they were. As patriotic as
Grant? Never, never with my consent.
What did they do? They tried to destroy
free government on the North American
continent. 1t was wicked, desperately
wicked.
SIN these days of slush and gush let it
be remembered that one man intends to
teach his children that the war for the
Union was right, eternally right, and that
the war against the Union was wrong,
eternelly wrong. l will not be deferred
from my duty by references to the bloody
shirt. Call me northern Bourbon if
you like" These words were uttered
over the grave of the man whose death
enshrouded the American nation in gloom
and grief but short time ago. Grant
wanted the memories Of the war buried
forever and the south applauded his
magnanimity. Northern orators have
been engaged in ghoulishly digging up
every buried bitterness and Haunting
with undated vigor the bloody shirt and
northern newspapers are applauding
them, All is not peace and love.

ACCORDING to a Washington special
General Sheridan has said that he con-
siders the late national drill q national
blessing, inasmuch as he will IN his re-
port to Congress recommend that an an-
nuel national drill in this city should be
conducted at the expense of the govern
ment, ana he thinks it would be power
full agent in stimulating the citizen sol
diers in every state to maintain a perfect
organization, and be ready to serve state
or country in time of need, and SO would
more than repay the cost of the annual
encsmpment. Another regular army
officer who was on duty at the camp dur
ing the late drill has said that he thinks
one great good it has accomplished was
the bringing OF the militia from the fur
thest removed sections of our country to-
gether in a way nothing else could do,and
the influence of this is to break down sec
tional prejudice. To bring all the militia
to the national capital tends to make them
recognize the general government as nav
ing stronger claim upon them in time
of strife than their states have"

The Ebb of States Rights.


Chicago Herald,
In the march of sumptuary legislation
Iowa has prided herself on some ad-
vantages which other states did not en-
Joy. She has enacted statutes calculated
to give her residents the cream of all
local business. Her insurance companies
have claimed they were the safest, and
that, because they themselves were safe,
outside companies, if they did business
at all, must do il on principles that would
secure the Iowa policy holder; and so
with other corporate undertakings. Fol
lowing the line of legislation originating
in Wisconsin, Illinois has also set up
some resident legislation hostile TO Sin
terlopers." She has compelled insurance
companies to be mutual, and forbidden
Joint stock subscriptions. She has forced
outside companies, being in the state, to
abide by the findings of Illinois courts of
justice, and when the outsiders have at
tempted to fool with policy holder or
other complainant by seeking gdjudica-
ton in the Federal courts, has annulled
the local license to do business, and
otherwise severely punished the non
resident corporations.
But the dream of the states is over, it
seems. Iowa passed q law compelling
railroads and other corporations to buy
licenses. The Northwestern Railway Com
pany would not do it, AS might be ex-
pected, an engineer was arrested: for
they never think of arresting an officer or
a director. The Supreme court of the
United States row sweeps the whole state
law away as unconstitutional. It comes
g little hard on proud commonwealth to
discover that some factory plentation like
Rhode Island is henceforth to hive cor
pOrations whose every act In Illinois or
Iowa is to be on G par with the Illinois or
lowe corporation that has been most
carefully inspected with q view to the
security of the people in dealing with 1t.
The lesson is that we have drifted away
from 3 common-sense theory of states
rights, and that now, if broad states are
not to be allowed TO deal with the matters
most intimately affecting the welfare of
their citizens, then those broad states
must use their large delegations in Con-
gress to fashion general legislation for
especial use in the eastern states which
send forth corporations to do business in
the west.

TIE Waco Day gives its readers the
figures and tells them to make their own
calculations: "The voting population Of
Texas by the census of 1880 was in round
numbers 100000, of whom 10000 were
native whites, $4,000 foreign born and
$1,000 colored. The increase since then
has probably not materially changed the
relative strength of the three elements,
and thus we are furnished g very fair
guide in making estimates of the result
of the present prohibition campaign. 1t
is generally conceded that majority of
the native white vote will be IN favor
of the amendment, while the other two
classes will vote largely the other way,
though no doubt the colored element is
somewhat more favorable to prohibition
than the foreign. We leave our readers
to figure out the chances, each or his own
basis OF probabilities, with the further
remark that the actual vote polled will
certainly not exceed 100000, of which
40, 900 will be native white, $4,000 for
eign, and $4,000 colored. The vote for
President in 1884 was 5000, and it is
fair TO assume that the present campaign
will not call out much larger vote, not
withstanding the increase OF population
within the past three years"

THE probable election of Chandler to
the United States Senate from New
Hampshire indicates that the spirit of
mugwumpery which revolutionized Rhode
Island in its late election is not infec-
tious. Wettmore's political operations
were confined to single state, while
Chandler's name has become a synonym
for ali that is impure and dishonest in
politics throughout the nation. 1t is
probable that he will be chosen to man
age the next Republican campaign with
Blaine as it's nominee for president, and
Chandler for manager the Republican
party would present unique spectacle
